Biotechnology

Biological technology is technology based on biology, particularly when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to construct or change products or processes for specific use. Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, which are in turn allied to practical disciplines like chemical engineering, information technology, and robotics.Biotechnology can also be defined as the exploitation of organisms to do practical things and to provide useful products.

One characteristic of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of organic products (examples include beer and milk products). For another example, naturally present bacteria are utilized by the mining industry in bioleaching. Biotechnology is also used to recycle, treat waste, clean up sites infected by industrial activities, and produce biological weapons.

Electrostatic induction theory

Another theory is that opposite charges are driven apart by the above mechanism and power is stored in the electric field between them. Cloud electrification appears to necessitate strong updrafts which hold water droplets upward, supercooling them to -10 to -20 C. These have a collision with ice crystals to form a soft ice-water mixture called graupel. The collisions result in a slight positive charge being transferred to ice crystals, and a slight negative charge to the graupel. Updrafts drive lighter ice crystals upwards, causing the cloud top to accumulate increasing positive charge. The heavier negatively charged graupel falls towards the middle and lower portions of the cloud, building up an increasing negative charge. Charge separation and accumulation continue until the electrical potential becomes sufficient to initiate lightning discharges, which occurs when the gathering of positive and negative charges forms a adequately strong electric field.

Elephant

The African and Asian elephants are separate classes. African elephants, at up to 4 m tall and weighing 7500 kg, are usually larger than the Asian species and they have superior ears. Both male and female African elephants have long tusks, while their Asian counterparts have shorter ones, with those of females varnishing little. African elephants have a dished back, smooth forehead and two fingers at the tip of their swimming suit, whereas the Asian have an arched reverse, two humps on the brow and only one finger at the tip of their trunks.
